Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do for your body when it is hot outside. Make sure to drink lots of water throughout the day so you do not become dehydrated, which can have serious health consequences.
You might also consider trying out some fun flavored waters or infused teas to add variety while still getting the fluids you need.
Wear Light, Breathable Clothing
When the sun is shining and temperatures rise, wearing lightweight, breathable clothing can help keep you cool. Choose fabrics like cotton or linen that are light and will allow your skin to breathe instead of trapping heat in.
In addition to helping your body stay cool, light colors tend to reflect the sun's rays away from you as well. So, make sure to wear clothing that are light and breathable.

Close the Blinds During the Day
Closing the blinds during the day helps keep the sunlight out of your home or office space, which, in turn, keeps it cooler inside A bonus for those hot summer days: If you really want to maximize this effect, consider adding reflective films on windows.
This will help further prevent sunlight from entering your space.
Take a Cold Shower
A nice cold shower can be a great way to cool down on hot summer days. Just make sure the water is not too cold so it does not shock your system and make you feel worse.
Ditch the Oven
Cooking with an oven or stovetop heats up the entire house, so if possible, try to use other methods. These could be grilling outdoors, using a slow cooker, or opting for no-cook meals like salads or sandwiches.
This will help keep the heat out of your home while also giving you some delicious options to choose from.

These are just a few tips to help get you through the summer season in comfort. By staying hydrated, wearing breathable clothing, closing the blinds during the day, taking cold showers, ditching the oven when possible, and investing in cooling products you will be sure to beat any sweltering temperatures with ease.
